In sumnmarizing his report Mr. Os- born says: 46During this past year the Village has found it necessary to' curtail its activities and to cut its expenses>be- cause of, the non-payment of taxes. This, curtailment- of activities has meant that we have closed the year with two less regular policemen' to protect, our homes and ýproperty; four less.. school crossing policemen to safeguard the school children;. one less fireman;. less servi ce in .the col- lection of ashes and rubbisb; fifty percent less street lighting; no snow removal;:. less Street cléaning; less street repair, and, in addition to this, theeconony, program ýincluded the Iaying off of twenty-mone of the.Vil- lage employees in February and a ten. percent cutin salary of al the, other employees. "This, I. believe, is a larger econ- omy program than that adopted by any other tax spending body of the Village, and it is because of this economy programn that we have been able to end the year with al bis paid and to show a reduction of $3.39 in, the per capita cost of operating the Village under the cost of operating the Village the previous year."
